Why Choose Dual Wavelength Laser (980nm + 1470nm) for Varicose Veins (EVLT)?

The TR-B laser system offers two distinct laser wavelengths: 980nm and 1470nm, each with unique advantages that make them highly effective for endovenous laser treatment (EVLT).

*980nm Laser: This wavelength exhibits balanced absorption in both water and blood, making it a powerful and versatile surgical tool. With an output power of up to 30 watts, it delivers robust energy ideal for efficient endovascular ablation.
*1470nm Laser: This wavelength has significantly higher absorption in water, resulting in more precise energy delivery and reduced thermal spread. This minimizes collateral thermal damage to surrounding tissues and adjacent venous structures, enhancing safety and patient comfort.

Given these complementary characteristics, combining both 980nm and 1470nm wavelengths is strongly recommended for optimal EVLT outcomes. The dual-wavelength approach leverages the high power and efficiency of the 980nm laser with the precision and safety of the 1470nm laser, offering a comprehensive solution for effective vein closure.

Varicose and spider veins are damaged veins that develop when the tiny, one-way valves within the veins weaken. In healthy veins, these valves ensure blood flows in one direction—back toward the heart. When the valves become weak or damaged, blood can flow backward and pool inside the vein. This buildup of blood increases pressure on the vein walls, causing them to weaken and bulge over time. Eventually, this results in the appearance of varicose or spider veins.

The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. A thin laser fiber is inserted subcutaneously into the targeted tissue without the need for incisions. Laser energy is then evenly delivered in a slow, fan-like motion to ensure uniform treatment.

Why Choose the 1470nm Wavelength?
The 1470nm wavelength has a higher affinity for water than for hemoglobin. This characteristic enables the formation of steam bubbles that gently heat the vein wall without direct radiation, enhancing treatment efficacy and success rates.

Endolaser facial contouring offers results that closely resemble those of surgery—without the need for a scalpel. It’s ideal for treating mild to moderate skin laxity, such as pronounced jowls, sagging neck skin, or loose, wrinkled skin on areas like the abdomen or knees.

Unlike traditional surface-level laser treatments, Endolaser works beneath the skin. Through a single tiny incision made with a fine needle, a flexible fiber is inserted into the targeted area. The laser energy then gently heats and dissolves fat deposits, tightens the skin, and stimulates collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation.
